Tennessee student found safe, teacher arrested in California

After being missing for more than a month, a 15-year-old Tennessee girl was found near a cabin in a remote part of northern California and the 50-year-old teacher accused of kidnapping her was arrested, authorities said.

Cummins, 50, fled with Elizabeth, his student, from their small town of Culleoka, Tennessee, on March 13. There had been only one confirmed sighting of the pair - at an Oklahoma City Walmart just two days after Thomas went missing - in the almost six weeks since the teenager was reported missing by her parents. But then the trail has gone cold.

The two disappeared a few weeks after a student reported seeing Cummins and Thomas kissing in a classroom.

"They were going to try and contain him but thought, 'Naw, he's supposed to be armed and unsafe.'" Cummins was on Tennessee's 10 Most Wanted list.

The caller said Cummins had taken up residence in Cecilville, about two hours from the nearest police station.

Barry said Cummins and Thomas were looking for the Black Bear Ranch Commune but were flat broke and out of gas. Deputies there found Cummins' Nissan Rogue and watched it for several hours before taking him into custody without incident. Again, Maury County Public Schools is grateful to everyone who worked tirelessly to bring Elizabeth Thomas home safely.

As for Cummins, Acting United States Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee Jack Smith said he faces federal charges.

An attorney for the girl's family has said her father didn't find out about the report of the kiss or the school's investigation until a law enforcement agent showed up at his door. Thomas was right behind him and she detained for her protection.
